tankies bad :(
Who gives a fuck what tankies think anyway? That's like caring about what nazi's think... If they disagree with you, you're probably doing something right!
Tankies do generally believe in things like universal healthcare and elimination of homelessness.
Just don't ask them how some of them were eliminated.
Nah.
Communists are social democrats who just haven't heard of social democracy.
Tankies are authoritarians who just like to masquerade under a less edgy ideology, communism in this case.
Most of the time, tankies tell me that I'm automatically a Liberal (the bad version of the word) if I'm a Social Democrat.
Social democracy is liberal, though
The political definition of liberal generally involves free enterprise. Social Democrats are generally trying to phase out free enterprise towards higher regulation and public good. Social Democrats seek to move society towards socialism nonviolently. That is not really a "liberal" thing by the version of that term generally used by Marxists.
You know youre doing good when tankies talk shit on you. I was once DM spammed by a bunch of nazis when I talked shit about it. Fun times and makes me stay on the right lane
Maybe you mistyped, but why on Earth would Nazis defend tankies? The most Nazi deaths in history were caused by the Soviets. Nazis foam at the mouth with rage at the thought of anything to the left of Hitler himself
Sorry mate, I was unclear. The time of DMs I was referring to was when I was talking shit about nazis specifically, tankies weren't in the vicinity of the discussion. But yeah the two are mortal enemies despite the awkward similarities between the ideologies.
If it's like in my country, tankie will be used to qualify people just slightly left of hardcore liberalism...
You have no idea what socialism is whatsoever, do you?
Um ... Tankies and Nazis often disagree with each other. Are they both doing something right?
Often is kinda underselling it
Tankies and Nazis in the US are both vehemently anti-NATO.
Interestingly for the complete opposite reasons. Tankies think NATO makes profit, Nazis think it's a wasteful expense.
They are
